Dr. Karen Effrem tells parents to BEWARE of invasive surveys within Common Core.

Large national organizations like the National Association of State Boards of Education and the American School Counselors Association have already admitted that one of the main purposes of the Common Core standards and the aligned testing is to mold and profile students’ attitudes, beliefs and behavior – through what’s called social emotional learning (SEL) or “21st Century Skills.” Now, these Common Core-aligned state tests are being accompanied by something new: student mindset and school climate surveys, which are already popping up in several states across the country.
